The fact that so-called evangelicals get mixed up with Moon and his business empire is rather disconcerting. A couple of years ago, I learned that the editor of the Wheaton College student newspaper would be doing an internship at the Moon-owned Washington Times newspaper. An "evangelical" journalist who writes for the Washington Times is an apologist for the "Local Church" movement of Witness Lee. This same journalist also happens to write for Christianity Today and was probably responsible for a recent CT editorial which declared that the "Local Church" is "not even close to being a cult." Yeah, right.

Where's the discernment among these "evangelicals?" Do they realize how Moon built his business empire, which enabled him to buy things like the Washington Times? He built it on the slave labor and drained wallets of brainwashed and abused recruits, his version of the "business mission."
